A south-eastern Perth council should be sacked, a West Australian Government-ordered inquiry has found.

In a report, tabled in State Parliament today, the inquiry said the City of Canning failed to engage with the community and there was a "significant element of distrust or lack of faith shown by the council as a whole towards the administration".

It found the council failed to provide good governance and there was a lack of transparency in many of its decisions.

There is speculation the State Government will seize on the report and use it as further evidence of the need to slash the number of metropolitan councils from 30 to about 14.

About 250 public servants in WA have walked off the job this afternoon and more are expected to strike this week after an employment agreement for about 40,000 workers expired on Tuesday.

The hour-long strike actions in Cannington and Midland included staff from the Department for Child Protection, Department of Transport, Disability Services and Department of Minerals and Energy, according to the workers' union.

The Government has offered a 2.5 per cent per year pay increase to public servants over the next three years, which Mr Mischin has described as "very generous".

But the Community and Public Sector Union (CPSU) has rejected this as "paltry" and asked for 3.5 per cent per year over three years.

It is alleged the boys aged 8, 10 and 11 surrounded a 14 year-old girl in Cannington yesterday before pushing her to the ground and stealing her mobile phone.

They were picked up by police a short time later at the Cannington train station.
